Bold and the Beautiful - 2009 (S22 E175) FULL EPISODE 5576

0:08 Spencer?

0:10 Yes.

0:12 What did he say?

0:15 He knows.

0:27 Who would have ever thought?

0:29 It's just Squeaky clean ain't so squeaky clean.

0:33 The man hires undocumented workers and gives them false identities.

0:38 Hardly seems fair to those of us who had

0:40 to go through legal means to get our green cards.

0:43 Stephanie didn't think I'd get the dirt on her ex.

0:47 But I have struck the mother lode.

0:49 And now I'm going to cash in.

0:53 Big time.

0:56 Uh what did Spencer say?

0:57 What did he say exactly?

0:58 He didn't go into detail.

1:00 He just wanted to tell me that he's coming here to see you.

1:05 It could be a colossal bluff.

1:07 We have to get him to show his cards.

1:16 Okay, what is it?

1:17 You're distracted.

1:18 What's going on?

1:23 My mother and Owen.

1:26 Listen, this guy bugs me.

1:30 You know him.

1:31 Do you think he's a con man?

1:34 Well, he was interested in Donna while my father was in a coma.

1:40 Exactly.

1:40 And Donna was rich, she was vulnerable,

1:42 and this guy was living paycheck to paycheck, but she didn't go for it,

1:46 which left him on the loose again, looking for a comfortable lifestyle,

1:49 which is exactly what my mother can provide him.

1:53 But guess who's not going to let that happen.

1:56 Nick is never going to give up,

1:58 not until he drives me out of the company and drives me out of your life.

2:01 Well, since when have you known me to do anything that I don't want to?

2:05 He thinks that he is protecting you.

2:08 Well, I don't know any karate, do you?

2:10 Maybe we should take lessons.

2:11 Jackie, come on, I'm serious here.

2:15 Okay, well.

2:18 Perhaps his reaction is something [music] that we should expect from others,

2:24 too, when they find out.

2:26 I mean, old woman, young man, she's obviously in it for the mind-blowing sex,

2:32 and he's in it for the fringe benefits.

2:35 It couldn't be anything else, could it?

2:37 Since it's hardly a traditional relationship.

2:40 It's probably something that you should consider as well.

2:44 Please elaborate.

2:45 You want a family.

2:47 You want children.

2:49 And since I'm well past the joy of the 2:00 a.m.

2:54 feedings, there are just certain realities that preclude

3:00 our relationship from being anything more than it is now.

3:04 We're both at very different stages in our life.

3:08 Okay, so what if we are?

3:11 We both make each other happy.

3:13 I mean, isn't that what matters at the end of the day?

3:16 Unless there's something else that you're saying.

3:18 It seems that generous nature of yours is going to get us in trouble.

3:22 I'm thinking specifically of uh Claudia Cortez and Bobby.

3:26 [sighs] Yeah.

3:28 I knew it was against the law.

3:31 When I did it.

3:32 I just wanted to help.

3:33 I wanted to help them get a leg up.

3:35 I know.

3:36 I know.

3:37 It bothered you no end even then, didn't it?

3:40 I'm responsible, too.

3:41 I should have had a fight with you.

3:43 I should have said, "No, we can't do something like this." But

3:45 Couldn't say no to me, could you?

3:49 We'd be so much better off now, all these years later, if you had.

4:02 What's going on?

4:04 What is she doing here?

4:06 I said, "What is she doing here?" We have a situation, Donna.

4:11 Look, we have several employees here who are not um legal.

4:16 They don't have papers.

4:17 They're not US citizens, and I and I've known about it all this time.

4:24 I knew about it when I employed them.

4:25 I just uh but I gave them a job anyway, cuz I wanted to help them.

4:32 Well, that sounds like something you would do.

4:34 Oh, I did it for good reasons.

4:36 Yeah, but uh I may go to jail for it now.

4:42 Stephanie came over to tell me that Bill Spencer has a good idea about this.

4:48 He may be onto us.

4:52 Bill Spencer?

4:54 What does he have to do with this?

4:55 Well, he picked up on something that I said,

4:57 and now he's trying to make a federal case out of it.

5:00 You idiot.

5:02 My god, you idiot.

5:04 Because of you, my husband's future might be in jeopardy.

5:10 Keep digging.

5:12 I'm going to use anything remotely incriminating against Eric.

5:15 To get your hands on his company.

5:17 That's my goal.

5:20 No, I do have something else in mind.

5:25 Time to pay Eric a little visit.

5:38 [music] Ugh.

6:01 [sighs]

6:01 Nick, don't you think you're being a little harsh on Owen?

6:05 We do still owe him a debt.

6:08 For what?

6:09 Well, if you hadn't been jealous of Owen and rushed to the beach house,

6:12 we may not be together right now.

6:15 Huh.

6:20 Well, maybe I'll let him live.

6:23 Maybe.

6:32 Look, the only limitations on our relationship are

6:34 the ones that we decide to put on it.

6:37 Come on, Jackie, we can make this work,

6:39 and it may not may not be in the most conventional way,

6:42 but Look, yeah, I Look, I want a family,

6:47 and I want to raise a child someday, but Therein lies the problem.

6:50 Well, then why did it have to be a problem?

6:52 Why?

6:53 There are plenty of great kids in this world that need somebody to raise them.

6:56 And when we decide that the time is right,

6:58 we get the ball rolling, and then we can

6:59 Wait, wait, wait, wait.

7:01 What are you saying?

7:03 That that we we should adopt?

7:06 Why not?

7:08 I mean, come on, it's the perfect solution for a couple like us.

7:14 Oh my god, you're serious.

7:16 I would do whatever it takes to have a life with you.

7:24 Donna, this is all speculation on Spencer's part.

7:27 He doesn't know anything.

7:28 He's he's bluffing.

7:29 That's what this whole phone call to Stephanie was all about.

7:33 He wants this company.

7:34 He's trying to scare me into selling it to I'm I'm scared, okay?

7:38 He's a dangerous man.

7:40 Okay, well, now you know that.

7:41 Keep your lips zipped when he gets here.

7:43 Knock knock.

7:44 Who are there?

7:44 Just your friendly neighborhood Dollar Bill.

7:48 I trust you've all been expecting me.

7:50 Yes, we have.

7:51 I know why you're here, Spencer.

7:52 I'm not going to sell my company.

7:54 I'm not going to sell it to you or anybody else.

7:57 Hmm.

7:57 Well, you know, Eric, I've got proof.

8:01 A lot of it.

8:02 Everything I need.

8:03 I know what you did, and I know how you did it without anyone being the wiser.

8:09 Until yours truly.

8:11 Here's how it goes down.

8:14 Some poor sap, some illegal, comes to you with his desperate story, and you,

8:21 being the bleeding heart you are, work a little magic, and presto change-o, Mr.

8:26 Illegal suddenly has a dead man's identity and social security number.

8:32 Now he's documented, and you put him to work.

8:36 Like, say, um I don't know.

8:38 Oh, Bobby Gavieras, for example.

8:43 There is enough ammo in that file to send you away for a very long time.

8:50 And if the INS needed any more information,

8:52 I've got a dozen folders just like [music] that one sitting in my office.

8:56 So, Eric, either you sell me Forrester Creations under my terms,

9:02 or you pack your bags for an extended stay

9:05 in the slammer with your new best friend, Bubba.

9:10 What's it going to be?

9:25 This is extortion, Spencer.

9:28 You make it sound so dirty.

9:30 I prefer to think of it as playing hardball.

9:34 So, what was my last offer?

9:35 Uh 80 million?

9:38 It just dropped to 60 million.

9:40 Oh my god, this is not happening.

9:41 I assure you that it is happening.

9:44 In fact, here's the sales contract to prove it.

9:49 Now, I could go lower than 60 million,

9:51 but out of concern for your beautiful wife, I won't.

9:57 Yet.

10:03 Forrester Creations is not for sale at any price.

10:06 This is a family business.

10:08 Mhm.

10:09 Yeah, you know it would have stayed a family

10:11 business had Stephanie not gone all soft on me.

10:16 What does that mean?

10:19 What, she didn't tell you?

10:21 Mama bear wanted me to cut her in on a piece of the action.

10:25 You know, you think you're holding all the cards, but let me tell you something.

10:28 We've been in tougher situations than this and we've always come out on top.

10:33 Eric is right.

10:34 This is a family company.

10:35 It's going to stay a family company and he's going to be

10:38 in charge and I'm going to make sure that it stays that way.

10:45 Why are you so surprised?

10:46 Couples adopt every single day.

10:48 Yes, yes, couples do [laughter]

10:51 adopt, but you and me, I mean we hardly a couple.

10:56 Look, Jackie, I'm not saying that we need to go out and do this today.

11:00 I'm just saying that we need to stop thinking about all the reasons

11:03 why we can't be together and start thinking about the reasons why we can.

11:07 Oh.

11:08 Yeah, yeah, we had fun.

11:09 It was all fun and games at first and you know,

11:12 we had a blast with the whole boy toy thing, but but I want more.

11:19 Look, I want more because of what you have brought into my life.

11:25 Look, when I'm with you, it's like this this amazing,

11:28 unpredictable ride that I never know where it's going to end.

11:32 But I got to tell you, it is one hell of a rush getting there.

11:35 Jackie, you make me feel alive.

11:38 Every minute that I'm with you and any guy would be would be a nuts not

11:44 to see that you are so smart and you're so sexy and I mean, did I mention sexy?

11:53 Hey.

11:54 Look at me.

11:55 You are the best thing that has ever come into my life.

11:59 And I want more.

12:01 I don't want more of you.

12:04 I don't want more of us and I just I hope that you want the same thing, too.

12:23 Still trying to take me on, mama bear?

12:26 I'll do whatever I have to to keep this company in his hands, believe me.

12:30 You know, I have given Forrester Creations a great deal of thought.

12:35 It's a rare jewel.

12:38 The truth is I have coveted it for years.

12:44 Now I can have it.

12:47 Trust me, you don't want to fight me on this.

12:50 Not only will Mr.

12:51 Compassion over here go to jail, but all of your illegal employees,

12:55 past and present, are going to suffer as well.

12:59 You're a small man, Bill Spencer, small and cruel.

13:02 No, I'm just a businessman.

13:05 I don't get all cluttered up with emotions.

13:08 You know what I I'm a little bit perplexed by?

13:13 What is the sudden loyalty you have to Eric, Stephanie?

13:17 This man has caused you nothing but pain and angst

13:19 and you practically eviscerated him in your Chronicles and webcasts.

13:23 Well, it's one thing to vent.

13:26 It's an entirely different thing to send somebody to prison.

13:28 His actions [music] are based on the fact that he is a decent and good man.

13:33 So now he's a decent and good man.

13:36 Something you wouldn't know anything about.

13:43 Excuse me, honey.

13:44 Excuse me.

13:48 You really think Owen is just using your mother?

13:51 Yes.

13:53 She's blinded right now.

13:54 He has got her right where he wants her.

13:56 Where does he want her?

13:58 As much as I hate to say it, in bed.

14:04 See, my mother's a lot like me, though.

14:06 She's going to get bored.

14:07 She's going to want something real,

14:09 something she can count on, something she can trust, something like we have.

14:15 And she's going to realize down the road here,

14:18 Owen's not going to be able to give her that.

14:23 Oh, you sweet sweet magnificent magnificent person.

14:34 No man has ever said anything so touching to me in all my life.

14:42 I meant every word of it.

14:44 And I mean this.

14:48 Not long ago, I was a very lonely woman,

14:52 which I managed to hide from most people most of the time, including myself.

14:58 If I throw myself hard enough into my work or my son or my grandson,

15:05 when I looked in the mirror, I saw the truth.

15:11 The woman looking back at me, she was a bore and she wasn't very glamorous

15:17 and actually she was she was terribly terribly sad.

15:26 But then you came into my life [laughter] and oh boy, did you change that.

15:32 I'm not lonely anymore, you see.

15:37 I'm not lonely.

15:40 I'm really really happy.

15:46 And it's all because of you.

15:52 My darling, because of you.

15:58 How could any woman how could I not want more?

16:20 Okay, folks, we're in the bonus round.

16:22 Time to make a decision.

16:24 I suggest that you two of you spend

16:25 a little time alone since you perpetrated this fraud together.

16:33 Donna?

16:46 We're in one fine mess.

16:50 Well, I made the decision in the first place.

16:54 It's my responsibility and now he's holding a gun to my head.

16:59 Either I sell him the business or I go to jail.

17:03 I despise [music] you for doing this to my husband.

17:06 Put your claws away, pussycat.

17:07 You can make this all go away.

17:10 One night with you and you leave him alone.

17:13 I won't notify immigration,

17:15 there'll be no charges and your husband gets to keep his company.

17:19 You're disgusting.

17:23 I'm really not such a bad guy.

17:27 It's just that I'm intrigued by you.

17:30 A woman like you with a man like Eric, it just doesn't compute for me.

17:37 Of course not.

17:38 You're far too superficial.

17:41 There's something about you, Donna.

17:44 I can't even explain it.

17:46 I mean, I see women every day that I could have for the asking,

17:50 but they just don't interest me much.

17:55 With you, it's different.

17:58 Honestly, I wish you weren't married.

18:01 Then I would be wining you and dining you, romancing the pants off you.

18:08 Or trying, anyway.

18:12 Your husband is a very lucky man.

18:16 Well, he won't be if you if you rob him

18:19 of his his life's work or you send him to jail.

18:22 It doesn't have to be that way.

18:25 Look, there are a few people that I am really

18:27 desirous of spending time with and you're one of them.

18:34 Give me a chance to show you what a great guy I can be.

18:38 Let me give you the most incredible evening of your life.

18:42 One that you will never forget.

18:46 And it won't just be about you.

18:49 You'll be giving your husband a chance to hold on to everything he holds dear.

18:58 So, what's it going to be, my little barracuda?

19:01 What do you say?
